So my ex-fiancee just sent me an e-mail to pick up the last of my things. He was cordial and no room to read in anything extra. He did, however, mention that he would be in therapy until late tomorrow. I had been asking him to go since February and beyond the 1 1/2 times we went as a couple he hadn't gone until now.

 

Part of me is so happy that he is finally going. He needs it and I want him to be helped. He has had alot happen in his life and I know he needs help working through it. The other part of me is disappointed that it won't be me that reaps the benefits - it will be the next girl. I found the therapist, I did the research, and some other girl will get to be with the man that I wanted. I love him so I want the best for him, it just makes me so disheartened that someone else will get the best of him.

It's normal to feel that way, Grace112. But sometimes it's for the best to not indulge in a "what if" speculation.

 

Him going to therapy is not a guarantee that his relationship with his next girlfriend will be perfect. The therapy will hopefully help him deal with his issues better. But it's not going to change him into a reformed person overnight.

 

Don't upset yourself over the speculation of what his next relationship will be like.
